DECISION

REQUEST BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION FOR APPROVAL TO USE A CHEMICAL WEAPONS PRODUCTION FACILITY (SOMAN PRODUCTION)

AT OJSC “KHIMPROM”, VOLGOGRAD,

FOR PURPOSES NOT PROHIBITED UNDER THE CONVENTION

The Conference of the States Parties,

Upon the recommendation of the Executive Council at its Twenty-First Meeting
(EC-M-21/DEC.3, dated 3 October 2002),

Considering the specific information received from the Russian Federation on the equipment to be installed outside the declared perimeter and therefore excluded from the conversion request, as specified in the attachment to this document; and

Further considering the specific information received from the Russian Federation on certain equipment to be used within the converted facility, as well as on certain equipment to be destroyed, as also specified in the attachment to this document.

Hereby:

Approves the request to use a soman production facility at OJSC “Khimprom” in Volgograd, Russian Federation, for purposes not prohibited under the Convention.

Attachment (English and Russian only):

Addendum to request for conversion of a soman production facility (EC-XXVI/NAT.2, dated 17 August 2001)


ADDENDUM TO REQUEST FOR

CONVERSION OF A SOMAN PRODUCTION FACILITY

(EC-XXVI/NAT.2, dated 17 August 2001)

The Russian Federation is seeking to convert only the dichlordiphenylsulphone production stage. Consequently, equipment used at other stages of production is to be moved beyond the perimeter of the facility.

Page 40, Form CWP5.12

In the conversion request, delete the commercial equipment for producing polyestersulphone (building 304a), which is to be moved beyond the perimeter of the facility. A list of the commercial equipment for producing polyestersulphone (building 304a) which is to be moved beyond the perimeter of the facility is on pp. 2-3 hereof.

The clarifications to the list of standard equipment for producing dichlordiphenylsulphone, required as a result of the exclusion of DDVF production from the request, are indicated below. Equipment not in use will be dismantled and destroyed.

Page 47 Form CWP5.12

Insert into columns 5-6 details of the standard equipment which will be used for producing dichlordiphenylsulphone (position numbers on the process line) or destroyed. A list of the standard equipment is in the annex on pp. 3-4 hereof.
